Hi Demik!
First off, my name is Carina and although I am a new member at geekhack, I am not new to geekhack at all. I was really excited to find out you were doing this sale! I also saw that nubbitors was doing the same thing, but I don’t have a buckling spring. I was so happy at the fact that you are going to give the winner the choice to donate to hopeforpaws.org! I think it’s a great idea. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. My 3 dogs were rescues that where abandoned at my local pet hospital. If I could, I would take every animal on that site. Since I can’t physically do that, I believe donating is the next great step to helping them. I also have a pet duck named Rigby! Many people usually find it unusual to have a duck as a pet, but in my past experience, I had grown up with many animals from geese, to chickens, rabbits, and quails. Here is a picture of my duck Rigby and my three dogs I currently live with now. (will upload soon

Well, I’ve been a lurker on geekhack and /r/mech. I got into mechanical keyboards around early this year. Ever since then, I’ve loved my first keyboard, the Poker II. The people who introduced me into mechanical keyboards were my friends who I played csgo with me. I was really skeptical at first about keyboards, thinking it was really dumb and stupid to spend a lot of money on. I can happily say that there is no doubt that I have no regrets on doing so. I had recently bought an hhkb, it being more than my Poker, I can honestly say that I have no regrets doing so either.
I honestly think that geekhack is a great place for creators who have a passion as keycap designers, or keyboard designers and makers. It’s great to be surrounded by people who share the same interests as you do, along with this forum being a great place for people to obtain nice keyboard parts that are out of reach for the user, via group guys. I have personally not joined, but it’s really nice to see people working hard to give other users awesome things. Some items I did purchase were keycaps. I had got the granite from pmk and hyper fused from a user on reddit. I had recently also gotten into artisan caps, and I was amazed to find so many amazing ones. I fell in love with the owl from Binge, dolly from nubs, the mummy from Kbk, julysicle from Cf, ribbit! From Brocaps, and of course, your candy corn clack! The only artisan cap I was able to get was a honeycomb color gasmask. I’m really sad to find out that there has been so many sales I’ve missed out on since I did not have an account at the time, and only finding out about them last minute.
I am aware of all the many other people who are interested in having your clack, but it would be great if I were selected for your giveaway. Regardless, I would love to donate for hopeforpaws.org since this is for such a great cause. I understand these keycaps such as clacks take a lot of time, and hard work. Keycaps sold by other users are very expensive, and I would by them all if I had the money for it. At times, it is hard to justify the price, and I try my luck to win keycaps from different sales when I can. Although I have not won any so far, I have decided to go on an adventure to make my own keycaps.
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=65519.0 I think it’s really amazing what members here are making, and I would love to see users using something I make on their keyboards. I am still working on them at the moment, but hopefully they will be finished soon.
